Wilson, L. Moore( manager), forwards; L. Merman, center; B. Merman, E. Wilson (captain), guards. Miss O’Meara (in Study Hall)—‘“No one can speak or move while I am in the study hall; but, of course, if I think that you are dying, I shall not be so unreasonable as to not let you get a drink of water.

THE ECHO. rr WHAT THE EDITORS THINK; LEST WE FORGET It is the purpose of this editorial to call to mind certain events to occur during the spring months. First of all, there is the Senior play. We are promised a good time, and judging by our Christmas success, we shall not be dis- appointed. So now is the time to get in your good work with the paternal—you can work him up slowly. Then, ye men of muscle, never for an in- stant, lose sight of the fact that the annual class field-day will be held soon. No better opportunity for winning their spurs will be offered the Freshman. If you cannot win an “S” during your first year, try hard to pull your numerals out of the interclass. Train now, with that fact in mind. The green and white of 1911 will win the cup— that is inevitable—but do your best to keep its score as low as possible. The annual debate, with its silver trophy. is well worth winning. Go to the barn and practice oratory before the spiders. That is the way Daniel Webster acquired his skill. Last, and most important to those not engaged in athletics, will be the battle of pens between our many literateurs. The contestants are chosen by the principal and the English teachers from those students whose work in English is exceptionally praiseworthy or who are conspicuous for their literary ability, as shown by their work on The Echo. The prize, a silver cup, goes to the one who writes the best story, de- scription or poem. Therefore, we advise each of you to put a special effort into your English compositions and to favor the edi- tors with an occasional story. NOTICE Since The Echo is your paper, it is ex- pected that each of you will do your best to make it a success. The editors will appre- ciate your stories, articles, drawings, jokes, and anything of interest to High School students. Make your drawings in ink, on good draw- ing paper. The size is of no importance, as we can reduce or enlarge the drawings at will. To receive attention, your manuscripts must be flat—never rolled, always written in ink, and lengthwise on small, manil a paper, with the perforations on the left. This last device is not what it may seem—an “old maid’s’” whim—but an arrangement neces- sary to keep our valuable literary gems from getting lost in the linotype. Jokes should be submitted to one of the Josh editors ; stories to Laverne Sutherland, ‘and drawings to the editor. All material for the February number must be received by February 3. Results of the Fall Election President—Ben Drake, 48; Harry Norton, 32; Sam Mitchell, 14. First Vice-President—V. King, 44; C. McIntosh, 36; F. Kinslow, 13.
